Presentation Copy of "Reminiscences of A Confederate Surgeon"
Signed Pamphlet/Booklet
Signed copy of "Reminiscences of A Confederate Surgeon" by Simon Baruch, in the original printed wrappers. 12 pp, 8" x 11"; New York; circa 1915. Signed, "With Author's best Regards / S Baruch" on the top wrapper. Printed in three columns, with two illustrations. Exceptionally scarce, with only one other copy appearing at auction in 2007; that one with a stamped signature. Single vertical fold at center, light soiling, and a small loss on bottom wrapper at top left.
Per the Civil War Database, Baruch enlisted on April 1, 1861 as a surgeon and was commissioned into Field & Staff of the Mississippi 13th Infantry. Per his own account, he was "under the age of 22" when he was made an assistant surgeon "and put in charge of a battalion of 500 infantry." The memoir takes the form of brief anecdotes, including his account of witnessing a charge at the Battle of Gettysburg.
Baruch returned to New York City after the war and died there in 1921.
This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
